X-Plane

It's not a game, it's a simulator. Come experience why real pilots fly X-Plane. The most realistic aircraft and the world at your fingertips await you. It’s not a game, it’s a flight simulator.

▶ "Highly recommended." — Mel Martin, Engadget ◀

Come experience why real pilots fly X-Plane. It all starts with the flight model—the same one used in our FAA-certified desktop simulator—which is detailed enough to simulate the flex in your wings and the tilt in your landing gear.

Add to that our desktop-quality aircraft, complete with multiple liveries and interactive 3-D cockpits. These cockpits are so detailed that you can perform a full startup procedure using the hundreds of buttons, knobs, and switches. With working gauges, flight displays, and more, these cockpits are as realistic as those in our full desktop simulator.

But what good are aircraft without a place to fly them? That's why each of our *free* regions features detailed terrain, lifelike city buildings, and 3-D airports—complete with terminal buildings, jetways, hangars, and more.

Want more? Subscribe to unlock global scenery and gain access to over 37,000 airports, with more than 11,500 featuring 3D terminals, hangars, and more.
